19th HematiteI've decided to trade useless orcish junk after seeing that the rest of our trade goods were somewhere deep with in the mounds of junk in this fortress.
20th of HemZerg our trader hasn't shown up to trade with the humans, it seems she cares more about eating.
23rd Hematite ESZerg seems to be in a meeting with our mayor... I may have to take drastic measures to get her to trade.
24th Hematite"MOTHER TREE! THE BEES BE POLLINATING OUR HOMES!" "Get off of me tree loving scum!" Screamed Will Smith DeathQuests local hammerer, with a mighty dwarven kick she knocked the insane elven merchant to the ground. "Foul scum I shall put you out of your misery!" said Will Smith as she shoved the elf underneath the draw bridge.
Click"Huhuhuhu."
*SQUISH*
27th of HematiteZerg has been too preoccupied with her "Meeting" so I have promoted a local Potash Maker to be our forts trader.
Ah, I should also mention I'm training up some proper troops for our fortress, in case the orcs come in so many numbers that our traps are not enough to deal with them.
28th of HematiteAmazing! The humans had much to offer to us! They brought mountains of meat, a rivers supply of booze, and some decent metals! Here's hoping that the rest of year goes well!
1st of Malachite, 208, Mid SummerToday as I woke up I saw one of our dwarfs, a trapper move around in our fields, looking around to see if anyone were watching her, almost as if she had gone to bath in a river, looking for prying eyes. Sensing no one was watching she promptly grabbed one of our Plump Helmets, and went off in the western direction, usually I would have thought of this as nothing, but her earlier activity made me follow her.
I quickly, and carefully made my way into the dining room, I saw no sign of the trapper, than for whatever reason I still do not know of I checked the cage room. I saw the trapper holding out the Plump Helmet towards one of the cages, I moved closer.
"What is the meaning of this." I asked calmly to the trapper, she jumped in surprise, and turned my way. I could see that her cloths were still in good shape, and that her body looked like they had never held a child within them. "E-eatting, what's it to you?" she answered back, I took note of the stutter, and the fact she did not look me in the face. "In the cage room?" "Yes" "Why not the dining room over there?" "I- don't know" "You're not just feeding the prisoners are you?" She looked towards me, I had her cornered. "Well?" I said prodding into the situation, she stood dumbly, and I went for the kill.
"TREASON! I see!" "NO!" the trapper screamed, running out of the prisoners room. I did not intend for the situation to go in this direction, but I ordered the guards to retrieve this suspicious dwarf. They dragged her into my office, she was a bit roughed up, a cut across the arm, and a bit of beard ripped off, but never the less alive. The guards said they found her locked in her room, they had to bust the door down, and she seemed to put up some fight. The incident seemed to bring up a lot of attention, and I told the guards that if anyone ask she tried stealing from me.
